| contents | This article discusses the role that text elements play in a data visualisation. We argue that there is a need for a simple, coherent explanation of text elements similar to the understanding that already exists for non-text elements like bars, points, and lines. We explore examples of how text is used within a data visualisation and use existing knowledge and assessment techniques to evaluate when text is effective and when it is not. The result is a framework that aims to be easy to understand and easy to apply in order to understand the purpose and effectiveness of the text elements in any data visualisation. |
